The pattern for this fly came from the fine book by Alaska Flyfishers, Fly Patterns of Alaska. If you are interested in fly fishing Alaska, or in popular Alaska fly patterns, this book is a must. It is chock full of patterns of all types. Alaska Flytyers write that this pattern has been effective for Reds, Silvers, and Kings in the rivers and saltwater in the Bristol Bay and Kenai Peninsula areas.
